I wish there was a sequence (after returning Jona) showing a communication from Admiral Rossa to Captain Picard. I wonder what she and he would have said regarding his decision. --MJRivera 22:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I know what you mean -- a Federation outpost was attacked; a Starfleet officer and his wife were murdered; a Federation citizen was kidnapped; and Picard decides to give the hostage *back* to the kidnapper? The ending seems really out of character -- not just for Picard, but for the whole series. I'm surprised he wasn't court-martialed. -- Heath 24.127.52.67 02:30, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

With respect, not at all out of character. A Federation outpost was attacked in the middle of a war. Those that died were casualties of war, and given that they were officers (essentially in the military), they were not "murdered". Jono was not kidnapped by the traditions of the Talarians, and as a good Starfleet officer, Picard is trained to be aware of and conscious of other races traditions and practices. So is Starfleet command. In the end, Picard made the decision that was both best for the Federation (keeping them out of another war), and for Jono. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 03:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
